  1. Down two more pounds to 295.  21.6 pounds lost in less than a month (28 days).

    I think I'm having so much success due to getting my ass up and being more active and drinking no soda or carbonated stuff.  I'm probably consuming about 20 net carbs per day.  I haven't really been keeping track.  I have however cut out all grains/bread/pasta and eaten baked foods and veggies rather than fried.  I've eaten out once in the last month (aside from Vegas) and had a grilled shrimp caesar salad.  I don't eat breakfast (coffee with cream), Lunch is typically a spinach salad with a hardboiled egg or baked chicken breast with some broccoli.  Dinner is salmon with veggies (broccoli, squash, zucchini), chicken breast with veggies or a taco salad (seasoned beef on top of romaine or spring mix) with some shredded cheese.  If I get hungry around 8 or so in the evenings, I'll grab a handful of mixed nuts and chomp on those. 

     

    Amazing what I can do if I really set my mind to it.  Cravings of bread are gone and I'm not really tempted by carbs/sugar right now.  I really haven't felt this good since college ('07-'11).  My wife is definitely noticing a difference in my appearance and attitude.  Amazing how much bad shit that used to get me down doesn't really effect me any more.  Total overall change that I'm still working on.

    Not a fan of the TE plays I remember from the spring game. I don't want passes to the TE that rely on YAC to make any yards. I want throws to the TE down the seam where it is open and if they make the catch they already have 10 yards and a chance for more.

    Glad I’m not the only one who saw this. I did like how Leitao (sp?) blocked and played though.

  3. College football Reddit is full of a bunch of thin skinned bitches who can’t take a damn joke. Also, say one not nice thing about aggy and you get a warning from the mods. Do it again and you get banned from the subreddit.

     

    It’s a circle jerk community and it’s nauseating.

  4. Just an FYI, I’m not doing Keto, more like Atkins. I cut out literally ALL soda. Diet soda is just as bad. If you cut out soda, you will have a lot more success. I’ve lost damn near 20 pounds since April 6th and I was a 2 or 3 a day Dr. pepper guy. Just do it for a week and if you don’t lose more than 2 pounds, you can drink them again.

  5. Would stop at the DQ in Buffalo on the way to Tyler from Houston.  Wife and I would get a blizzard for the road.  When it took 20 minutes and there were 3 customers in the entire restaurant the last time we were there, I told her we aren't stopping here any longer.  Haven't been to a DQ in over 3 years.  We stop at Buccee's in Madisonville now.

    I'm definitely not surprised they're in financial trouble.  All of the DQs I have been in are complete shitholes with ceiling tiles falling down, greasy/slippery floors, dumbasses behind the registers.  Surprisingly, they just opened one up in Pearland.  Parking lot is always empty whenever I drive by.

  6. Some things I splurge on, some things I'm cheap on.  I have my wife cut my own hair because I don't want to pay 15 bucks to have my hair cut.  I actually watched a few youtube videos and learned how to trim her hair and did that yesterday (the hair on her head you heathens).

    I don't cheap out on clothes typically (Lucky jeans and Jos A. Bank are my go-tos).

    what do you achieve by working the extra hours, presuming you are saiaried, in terms of career growth? The damn boss doesn't give a damn about your broken back right? did you get a promotion?

    By working long hours, I showed that I can get a task done regardless of the amount of time needed to get it done and in a deadline. It was a thankless job that I needed for my resume to open doors later in my career. I was promoted to senior associate and left.

    Crab season last around 4 weeks.  hell, we did that shit hauling hay and running sileage on the dairy.  It wasn't all day every day though-  yes milking is twice a day every day, but you have staffing for that.  I'm talking about peak business.

    The Deadliest catch thingy isn't a good comparison.  i always get the feeling those guys don't do jack shit for the other 11 months of the year unless they own the boat.

    Most of them who are on the vessels will always work on deck with the captain through the non crabbing seasons and catch salmon, cod, etc.  They are on the boats probably 8 months of the year.

    I worked 60-65 hours per week for a good 3 years in public accounting. You suck it up and do it because you leave for a better job. Same with investment banking.

    Did you eat nuts (nohomo)? They're a good source of fiber, fat and protein. Eat a couple handfuls of almonds or walnuts throughout the day.

    I was about to recommend this. Wife gets a big tub of mixed nuts from Costco. Walnuts, pecans, almonds, Brazilian nuts. I snack on those in the evenings. Helps with fiber that I’m missing from bread.
